A slanted geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms. Strokes are heavy and even, with flat-ish terminals and softened corners that keep the shapes smooth rather than sharp. Counters tend toward rectangular ovals (notably in O, 0, 8, 9), and curves are restrained and controlled, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. Proportions favor a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, and the overall spacing reads tight but consistent for dense, high-impact setting.
Best suited for large sizes where its oblique geometry and rounded-square construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, athletic identities, gaming/tech brand marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a modern, engineered tone is desired, but long text may feel dense due to the heavy weight and tight, slanted rhythm.
The typeface reads modern and performance-oriented, with a streamlined, machine-made tone. Its oblique stance and squared rounding suggest speed, technology, and athletic branding rather than warmth or tradition. The overall feel is assertive and display-forward, suitable for attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to merge a fast, forward-leaning italic posture with soft-cornered, squared geometry for a contemporary, high-energy look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent rounded-rectangle structure across letters and numerals to deliver a cohesive, technical display voice.
Several forms emphasize squareness with rounded corners: the uppercase C and G are open and boxy, while the lowercase a and e show single-storey, simplified constructions. Numerals are similarly squared and sturdy, maintaining strong silhouette consistency across the set.
